Install-time code changes the consuming project's package-manager settings and AI-agent instruction surfaces. It installs project-local Claude/Copilot rules and skills without a separate user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T04:46:10.140Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T04:46:59.043Z - **Download time:** 754 ms - **Static scan time:** 96 ms - **AI review time:** 48052 ms - **Total time:** 48903 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code changes the consuming project's package-manager settings and AI-agent instruction surfaces. It installs project-local Claude/Copilot rules and skills without a separate user command. - **Trigger:** npm/pnpm/yarn installation executes postinstall. - **Impact:** Can persist package-authored instructions and skills in the consumer project and increase future lifecycle-script execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, merge.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T04:46:59.043Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall-driven project configuration and agent-extension deployment - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete install-time capability to alter consumer package-manager and AI-agent control files. Its behavior is aligned with its stated rules-management purpose, but it remains a risky first-party agent-extension lifecycle action rather than confirmed malware. - **Files touched:** postinstall.js, merge.js, AGENTS.base.md, rules/, skills/, \/.npmrc, \/AGENTS.md, \/CLAUDE.md, \/AGENTS.private.md, \/.github/copilot-instructions.md, \/.github/instructions/\*.instructions.md, \/.github/PULL\_REQUEST\_TEMPLATE.md, \/.claude/skills/\* ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall.js automatically., postinstall.js appends pnpm settings that enable dependency lifecycle scripts and disable side-effects cache., postinstall.js invokes merge.js init in the consumer project., merge.js writes AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions, and copies skills into .claude/skills., merge.js creates a Copilot instruction to skip review of generated agent-rule files. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, network client, or exfiltration code found., No remote payload loading, eval/vm use, or opaque binary loading found., The spawned process is a fixed local Node invocation of merge.js., README.md discloses the automatic agent-rule initialization behavior. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4.
